New Post: titled "The Linotype Machine | 1886 AD"
Who is credited with the invention of the typewriter?
Christopher Sholes
What is a "stenographer"?
Post an example of Shole's typewriter.
Why did Sholes send a prototype of his typewriter to Clephane?
After the typewriter began production, why did Clephane pursue another machine?
Who spent a year redesigning Clephane's typesetting machine?
Mergenthaler
What is meant by "typesetting"?
One that would bridge the gap between the typewriter and the printing machine.Post an example of Linotype Machine.
How does the Linotype Machine differ from the typewriter?
He pursued the machine form one that would bridge the gap between the typewriter and the printing page.Allowed type to be set manually rather than by hand.It produced a solid line of type by casting hot lead into a series of molds that corresponded to individual letters.
How did this machine change the newspaper industry?
Changed Radically making it possible for a small number of operators to set type for more pages on daily basis.Post an example of a Linotype keyboard.
How did the keyboard of the Linotype Machine differ from keyboards that we use today?
It had no shift keys,it had the same alphabet written twice.Black keys were the lowercase letters,white keys were uppercase letters,and the blue keys were for punctuation digits,and other letters. Post an example of a Linotype slug.
What is a slug?the assembled line of a type is then cased as a single piece.
Post an example of a person operating a Linotype Machine.
Why is the Linotype Machine the greatest advanced in printing since movable type?It was award a price in Paris witch then they started making more and more machines around the world.It was very popular and popular that every person started using them.
